Siheyuan: The beauty Xueru Huizhen, the birds are jealous

In the steel mill's office, a middle-aged man walked quickly towards Yang Ming and extended his hand enthusiastically.

"Comrade Yang Ming, I've long heard of your great name!" His face was filled with a warm smile.

Director Bi introduced: "Yang Ming, this is Director Fang from the Ministry of Agriculture. He came here specifically for your water pump project."

Director Fang took over the topic, his eyes full of expectation: "Comrade Yang Ming, our Ministry of Agriculture has been looking for solutions for efficient small water pumps.

If your design is as good as the rumors say, we are willing to invest money to build a production line and hope that you can serve as the director of this water pump factory."

When Yang Ming heard this, he showed a surprised expression on his face. He did not expect that this seemingly ordinary Director Fang would come up with such a grand plan.

“This… This really surprises me.” Yang Ming was a little speechless, “But I am willing to cooperate with the Ministry of Agriculture to jointly promote this project.”

Seeing this, Director Fang nodded with satisfaction: "Very good, I believe that with your participation, our project will surely achieve remarkable results."

With the help of Director Bi, Yang Ming reached an important cooperation intention with the Ministry of Agriculture, opening a new chapter for his water pump project.

Director Bi and Factory Manager Yang standing next to them clearly showed some signs of uneasiness.

"Director Fang," Director Bi finally couldn't hold back his doubts, "Your approach seems a little inappropriate!"

"I tried my best to contact resources for you and find outstanding talents," he continued, "but you took away the talents we regard as treasures right under the nose of our Metallurgical Department?"

Although Director Yang was also dissatisfied, he was more cautious and restrained than Director Bi. After all, the difference in level between them was obvious, and he did not dare to cross the line easily.

"Director Bi," Director Fang responded calmly, "It's not that I don't respect you. It's just that your Ministry of Metallurgy doesn't seem to give these talents the attention they deserve. For young talents like Yang Ming, even if we don't directly promote him to the core of the department, we will provide him with enough space and a stage to display his talents in our Ministry of Agriculture."

"Ridiculous!" Director Bi retorted angrily, "When has our Ministry of Metallurgy ever looked down upon talent?"

The argument between the two became more and more intense, while Yang Ming and Director Yang watched silently from the side, not daring to interrupt easily. They knew very well that these two were high-level leaders, and it was really difficult for them, the middle-level staff, to intervene in such an occasion.

Afterwards, Yang Ming took out the design drawings of the water pump, and Director Fang called several experts from the Ministry of Agriculture to sit around and discuss the issue together.

Yang Ming began to introduce his design in detail: "Please see, the original intention of designing this water pump is to adapt to the changing geographical environment in rural areas.

It does not have high requirements for water levels and can operate normally as long as the water depth reaches 30 centimeters.

Although its pumping speed is not the fastest, it is enough to meet the basic needs of agricultural irrigation. One acre of land can be irrigated in about an hour using this pump. "

After listening to this, the experts nodded in agreement. They believed that although this water pump was not the most efficient, its low cost and convenient transportation were its biggest advantages.

In rural areas, such equipment is very suitable for multiple farmers to purchase together and use in turns.

Regarding irrigation efficiency, experts also understand that for farmers, there is not much difference between completing irrigation in one day and completing it in half a day, but the cost savings are real.

In any era, ordinary people are highly sensitive to prices.

Therefore, some companies have achieved success in the market by providing high-quality and low-priced products.

Just like some e-commerce platforms, facing strong competitors, they have achieved catching up and keeping pace with those giants by expanding into lower-tier markets and leveraging price advantages.

"So," Director Fang turned to Yang Ming, "how much does this water pump cost? If we build a factory right away, how long will it take to start production?"

After an in-depth discussion, it was observed that the experts from the Ministry of Agriculture nodded frequently, obviously highly praising Yang Ming's plan. Director Fang then raised a key question.

"Director," Yang Ming said calmly, "If we use the existing factory buildings in Sijiu City, gather the workers and equipment from those small factories, and build a brand new water pump manufacturing center."

"Coupled with necessary equipment upgrades and technological innovations,"

“We estimate it will take about three months to ensure the production process is running efficiently.”

When talking about the cost, Yang Ming hesitated for a moment. In view of the positive attitude and strong financial support shown by Director Fang and the Ministry of Agriculture, he gave an estimated figure.

"About 10 million?" Director Fang asked. He nodded slightly, "The Ministry of Agriculture will arrange this amount of funds as soon as possible. Please also mention the other needs you mentioned."

"But please understand that we place great emphasis on time efficiency."

Yang Ming understood what Director Fang meant. They were willing to use funds in exchange for faster construction. Under the tide of planned economy, a pump factory with an annual output of millions or even tens of millions of pumps would mean huge economic returns to the Ministry of Agriculture, and at the same time, it would also provide many jobs for the society. This was a win-win cooperation. For the Ministry of Agriculture, the investment of 10 million was just a drop in the bucket.

"Please rest assured, Director Fang," Yang Ming promised solemnly, "I will do my best to ensure that the water pump factory is completed and put into production as soon as possible."

"Very good, Comrade Xiao Yang, I have high hopes for you." Director Fang nodded with satisfaction, and then he changed the subject, "Also... Regarding the selection of the director of the water pump factory, I think you are the most suitable candidate. Why not consider it again?"

At this moment, Director Bi suddenly barged in, looking extremely agitated, "Old Fang, get out! You are not welcome here!"

"Do you believe me? I will ask the security department to ask you to leave now."

Director Bi regretted it deeply. If he had known Director Fang was so strong, he should not have introduced the two parties. Now, the dazzling star of the Ministry of Metallurgy has attracted everyone's attention.

He was extremely anxious.

After Director Fang, Director Bi and others left, Yang Ming and Factory Director Yang stayed in the office and started to light cigarettes. Naturally, they did not dare to do this in front of their leaders.

At this moment, as the director and deputy director of the steel mill, they no longer have to worry about anything. But they are not really smoking, but relaxing their tense nerves and reserving energy for the next work.

"Brother Yang," Yang Ming said in a low voice, "I have noticed that Deputy Director Li seems to have some unusual behavior in the factory recently. Have you noticed it?" Director Yang knew it well and nodded, and the conversation between the two continued to deepen.
